Yes!! Romance all day everyday! I used to be in a reading slump until I started reading romance and now I read about 10 books a month. Now it’s hands down my favorite genre followed by mystery/suspense. I’d love to hear you talk more about your experience starting out as a romance novel writer ❤ I hope I randomly stumble upon your book so that I can read it!
@user-jr3jy5eg8w 9 ай бұрын
Congrats on publishing! I do have to say, with no unmeaningful ways, I feel kinda cheated. I have been diligently watching your vlogs bc I’m so happy for you and I love your books, that I wanted to read your new one too. And now I have no clue where to get it to support you. Can you give a lady a hint? ❤
@LaLavender25 8 ай бұрын
Right!?! I don’t understand how this can work for me, either, because I want to use a pen name too, but how can you share something that’s supposed to be a secret, but you want a following?!?🤨
@willowingwhispers2612 2 ай бұрын
Yes, this is rather a...strange approach. People usually use pen names to either hide their personal info / their real name or they use one because they're writing in a different genre than what they normally do, but they're upfront with their audience and tell them in this case. Why promote a book, talk about the process, but not tell your audience what the book is or where to find it? Why talk about the book at all if you're not going to share it with the audience you've gathered? It's very odd.

I didn’t think I’d ever write romance however in the past few weeks I’ve been working on a holiday romance and I can’t get enough of it! Hoping to write it during NaNoWriMo. Congratulations on publishing your book!!

Congratulations on your new book Natalia, that's so exciting for you. I hope that one day you'll decide to share this series with us, because I know I would love to pick up a copy! But either way, I'm wishing you all the best with the rest of the series. It's always amazing to see someone so passionate and excited about their project.

@fionahowellwrites5302 9 ай бұрын
Interesting! I've thought about using other names because I wrote a sci-fi and an adventure trilogy that's different than my normal historical fiction stuff...my Regency mystery still fits at least. Not sure yet. Starting over is difficult....

If you don't have them, get some good blue light filters on your glasses. Those definitely help. I noticed a huge difference at my job where I'm in front of the screen all day when I got them.

Found this so helpful - thanks! Wanting to do similar myself re pen name, etc. If you start a new IG with a new email just for that, does it work to keep it totally separate from existing accounts/friends etc?
@NataliaLeigh 8 ай бұрын
I'm so glad you found this helpful! And yes, my new IG is completely separate from my other accounts, while still being easy to switch to when needed. 👍🏻

I would love ti know more about pen names. I need to publish under one as my name has already been used by another writer. Also, I'd love to know what name you published under so I could buy the book! PM me if you'd like. I'm writing a mystery right now with a romance in it.
@annieontheroad 9 ай бұрын
Wait, if you're publishing under a pen name "anonymously" what do you do about your picture? How can you have a real picture of yourself if you're trying to be anonymous? I'm writing my first book and going under a pen name, but have no idea what to put up for a headshot on my website. Maybe a caricature? What are your plans on this one? Curious to know.
@earleft 9 ай бұрын
Agreed. How are you building an anonymous social media presence as well?
@billy_bandit 9 ай бұрын
Not only that, but how are fans of your work supposed to know where to even find this? :/
@NataliaLeigh 9 ай бұрын
You can use an illustrated photo of yourself, a simple logo, etc. Many authors choose not to show their face online, so it's not been a problem. 👍🏻
@NataliaLeigh 9 ай бұрын
What do you mean? It's easy to post on social media without showing your face; I've been sharing pictures of the book, quotes, reviews, etc.

You can watch the pen name video for more info. I cover all of that in that video. 👍🏻
